Hey now, sitting in better-than-you-deserve equipment for years and not doing much with it is a NASCAR tradition! Casey Mears, David Ragan, Jeff Burton, this list can go on forever!

Besides, that doesnt make him any less of a :shobon: dude. The fact that the dude can at least assemble reasonable sentences makes him a whole hell of a lot better than most of the other drivers.

BR tracks added grip on the high side so you could pass up there. The stock game only had "grip" on the bottom of the corner. I think they only did it to big tracks.

Back in the day Jr also used to hold several Jooh-Jewt-Sooh tournaments as a convenient cover for spending times with powerful man-legs wrapped around his torso.

I'm not Dale Jr. fan, but you should recognize that he hasn't exactly been "backmarking" it and has been developing consistency at least. He's been in the chase the last 3 years. I think a big part of it is that his weekly focus on the telecasts for the last couple years got Danica'd.

As some of you know, he used to iRace too and was like the best driver and the safest driver on ovals at the same time. He used to make late model setups and share them for people to use.

Fuckin' Danica is in the series for a year logging laps and it's a loving joke but when Jr. spends a motherfucking decade "developing consistency" that's ok?

What the gently caress do half of you smoke before you post poo poo? :psyduck:

Because most of his wins came in the Gen 4 car that his daddy taught him on and Eury Sr. called for him, along with a few wins here or there that a lot of people think were gifted to him for the story after his dad died. CoT hits, Eury Sr. leaves, BANG, Jr. sucks.

e- To be fair, not many drivers can win with multiple crew chiefs. Gordon fell off a cliff when Evernham left, Petty the same when Inman left, DW was best with Hammond, I can go on. So that's not a Jr. specific thing.

So Danica has Tony motherfuckin' Stewart to teach her to drive in this new car. When he has wins in like every series known to man. So she should at least have 10 wins by now by that logic.

And remember that he slides through his pit box because he is a loving baby that never practices pit stops because "practicing his stops is what makes him mess up during the races."

The new qualifying session is cool and all but they should build in some cool down laps or something.. these guys are all rolling out and out for a sunday drive at the end when someone may be out there to get back into the next session.

Gordon actually won his first two races without Evernham/with Whitesell (Earnhardt Sr said "I guess he can win no matter who's crew chiefin'"), won a title with Loomis, and, as amazing as it may sound given the CC, should've won one with Letarte (drat you 07 Chase :argh:).

He still fell off a cliff. I didn't say "he stopped winning". The overwhelming bulk of his success was with Evernham.

2007 was the single highest-scoring season of the 36-race era, that isn't "falling off a cliff". Dude got old, and maybe couldn't adjust to the COT after 15 years in the old car.
